OTHER WAYS TO GIVE

There are many ways to donate to Deer Flat Ministries other than cash. Here are a few guidelines we follow when considering non-cash gifts.

STOCKSIf you would like to donate stocks directly, we have a brokerage account which makes this very simple. You can ask your broker to contact us for the transfer information. You may even benefit from a tax savings, but see your accountant for details. Our policy is to sell any donated stocks, bonds, etc., within 30 days of receipt.

WILLS AND TRUSTSYou may consider leaving a portion of your estate. If you do not already have all of your arrangements made, the Free Methodist Foundation would be happy to provide you with information, resources and assistance.

REAL PROPERTYIn most cases we are happy to receive real property that is unencumbered. Unless it is determined that keeping the property provides a benefit, it would be immediately sold and the proceeds used as designated or as the Board of Directors and/or Finance Committee see fit.

PERSONAL PROPERTYAll other items donated including, but not limited to motorized vehicles, equipment, furnishings, etc., will be gladly excepted if:You agree that the item may be immediately sold and the proceeds used as designated or as needed. The value of the item exceeds the cost to dispose of it.

Please fee free to contact us if you have questions or would like to make a donation.
